Comment:

 Also, those older versions of llvm surely don't work well for ppc.  3.5
 was the first that kinda worked for ppc.  You should try using newer llvm,
 but that will require getting libc++, and that will require fixing issues
 with libunwind.  See
 http://trac.macports.org/wiki/LibcxxOnOlderSystems#Leopardppc

 Alternatively, you can try using macports-gcc-4.7 or newer for webkit-gtk,
 but you'll also need to use that same compiler for all of its recursive
 dependents.

 You're very deep in unsupported territory.
